  1. Unbelievable. Sad. I guess what I mean is that, if you have no bonding whatsoever with this chick, keeping the distance is not such a bad idea since I think there is no enforceability between Canada and China for "impregnation." And, if this child is yours (which I don't think it is and if they say it is, you may want to take more secure methods (North American) to ascertain this on your turf), then you know it will probably be put up for adoption.
  2. VISTA roofs are COOL. Very much an Oldsmobile styling cue. And don't you love the twin waterfall grilles which were another Oldsmobile styling cue? "It's a great feeling to have an Olds around you" was a slogan of theirs when I was a kid. Back to sunroofs/moonroofs.
  3. 1. I'm such a minimalist to begin with that I would say "yes." I like to travel light. I drive a 14 and 1/2 year old car approaching a quarter of a million miles which looks and runs like new. Furnishings are few but nice. Electronics are the bare essentials (TV, DVD, computer, printer/scanner/fax/copier, clock radio, 3 phones in the house, cell phone and digital camera). 2. Oh yes. I'm doing that right now. I plan to be out of my current occupation by early 2007. Sayonara. It has been a long time coming. It was a tough decision but I am now comfortable with it. Also, I cleaned house on a lot of friends...one by one. The biggest disappointment has been my Southern California friends from high school and college. I'm down to just a few from a list of 10. I like my Northern California friends a lot better, even though I probably prefer living in So Cal.

  5. So true. The LaCrosse just doesn't have the wow factor that the Intrigue did. I think people immediately liked the Intrigue. It's such a good-looking car. I think people hem and haw about the LaCrosse.

  7. I think I'm full of caveats for you: - don't be dealing with a clinic you don't know and people you don't really know for something like this...I just don't know - don't be setting foot in China for a while - I seriously don't think the condom broke; thus, you did not cause the pregnancy. Don't be so cooperative. Something just doesn't seem right.
  8. weasel, goes the
  9. I'm at 227,500 +/- right now. I'm shooting for 250,000 on the entire powertrain. I will treat it with kid gloves to get there as I want it to take me through a substantial relocation. Then I'll get the new car.
  10. Happy Birthday, guy! Now, don't hate me, but I remember all kinds of dates and trivia. The negative: Hurricane Katrina made landfall on this day last year. The positive: Most people won't know that...having 9/11 as a birthday may be a tough pill to swallow, though. Seriously, I hope you had a good day!!!
  11. Funny and worded in an interesting way!
  12. BUICK site updated! Looks like today, August 29 (which happens to be Katrina's 1 year anniversary ) . At any rate, not much of a price increase on the LaCrosse. Even then, it would be offset by the price drop in the Comfort and Convenience package which now lists at $ 690 (unless it has been decontented). Hey...opinion sought....does the Slatestone Metallic have blue in it per your opinion? If so, could it take the tan interior or do I need to stick to the gray interior? I think both are allowed. Also, the cloth looks nicer than last years. Price yourself a Buick!

  14. I was watching that on the news. I like to travel and fly a lot. It really makes you think that you never know when it's time to go...so every moment you have is valuable. This is analogous to the Singapore Airlines 747 taking off several years ago. It took off down a runway that was closed / under construction and struck a crane or other construction object. Many lived, but a lot died. Very sad. Also, my older brother went to high school with a guy who was coming home for the holidays from a trip to Europe and was aboard Pan Am 103. One of my friends called me up and said to look at the L.A. Times at the passenger list under a certain letter for last names. I couldn't believe it. Never take anything for granted.
  15. Again, what is this Deutsch you are spouting? I would rather listen to Tom Leykus! He is not on the choice list. He is such a combative a-hole.

  17. Why don't your parents switch mechanic? Didn't they have a big ABS bill with him too? (I ran a thread asking if I should get them and you indicated that about a year ago). What happened with that?P, there's a big benefit to cheap insurance via maintenance. I am sure they change the oil. But I also get a spark plug change every 30,000 miles, whether it needs it or not. And, in between that, I change the fuel filter (they can get clogged) and the PCV valve (a few dollars). I am in the "process" of changing spark plug wires...they can cause a "bogging" under load, I learned the hard way. The best thing to do is just do a spreadsheet...I am a little rigid and do spreadsheets, budgets, but it makes organizing life so much easier. I seriously don't think it's on the way out...it's probably just a fix that has been overlooked. Viva all cast-iron Buick OHV 90 degree V6 engines! They're pretty tough little units.

  19. Every once in a while, I get a rental car that is equipped with a sunroof. This happens when the MC is a 3.9 LT upgrade or a GP with the Supercharger (last year) and just this weekend in a Mercury Milan Premier. It was very nice driving the car around and seeing the stars through the glass sunroof. It was also nice having it open, sticking my hand up and catching the cool breezes off the coast. My biggest objection is that I hear they tend to leak. Also, if the power accessory fails, is that an expensive fix? Your experiences?
  20. Yeah, Sci, I know you will. Seriously, other than your excessive picture posting (narcissicm? ) and all lower case stuff , you don't seem like a bad guy, Anthony, and I sure as hell didn't realize there was any friction behind the scenes. But, you have to do what you have to do.

  23. I think Bimmer IS Italian....because in that picture with his sister, she looks extremely Italian!
